What would you do if your baker ruined your wedding cake on your wedding day?

This actually happened to me, and all I did was complain a little. My favorite cake is spice cake. The baker had the flu on our wedding day, and so her husband made our wedding cake.

Somehow, he made carrot cake instead of spice cake. I love carrot cake, so this would not have been a problem -- except that we were not expecting our pictures to show us picking carrots and nuts out of our teeth... It actually is really fun to laugh about it now, fifteen years later.

The lady that was supposed to make my cake (a friend of mine who offered) didn't make my cake.. she also hasn't spoken to me since... luckily my sister knowing I loved cake brought one as we had a bbq bonfire wedding or there would have been no cake. I was mad at first but only till I realized someone had brought cake. I really love cake lol I don't even hold it against her.

I baked my own cake for my wedding, so I'd only have myself to blame. LOL. If I didn't have time to make another one, or I had hired someone else to do it and they failed to get it done, I'd just go to one of the many store bakeries in the area and get some cake that's already been made.

Maybe I'd simply get cheesecakes, pound cakes, brownies, angel food cakes or an ice cream cake instead. At least that way, there would still be desserts for the party. It's not too difficult to add fresh fruits to any cake or cheesecake and purchase some sauces for people to put on top.

There's nothing wrong with serving something simple like that. Also, you can still keep the cake table pretty by decorating with good chocolates and fresh flowers. For people who aren't necessarily thrilled with cake to begin with, there's always pie!

It might be kind of fun to offer a variety of pies in that situation. It would give everyone something to talk about. I am pretty fond of lemon meringue, myself.

Pies are easy to get from any store or bakery, if there's no time to make them at home. If I had paid someone in advance for a special wedding cake and he or she didn't come through for me, you can bet I'd get every penny back. flickr.com/photos/powi/ / CC BY 2.0 flickr.com/photos/powi/3833679214.

I think that people place too much emphasis on the actual day. Yes, it is important, and yes we all want it to go smoothly, but it is one day, one dress, one cake. If my cake wouldn't have shown up....I would have sent someone to the store for cupcakes!

They are perfect for smooshing into someones face..and they would be a funny story to tell. 10 years later, would I still care about the cake? No.

All that stress and headache, over one day. Silliness I say. If you're cake isn't right, are you going to cancel the wedding?

No If the flowers are right..will you cancel then? No The only thing you should worry about is the other person showing up....if they do then the day was a success.

Tell my wife to stop crying it's only a cake. Enjoy the day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
